REVIEWS

Erlowest is a beautiful place no matter what your reasons are for visiting. The grounds are kept pristine, the architecture is picturesque, the interior is romantic and elegant (especially the ballroom with all its details), and the view is just stunning. What made our experience so perfect, however, was the Erlowest staff. Everybody went above and beyond to ensure our big day was one to remember. Alexis worked with us throughout the process, and made us feel like she was our personal wedding planner (even though she's got a million other things going on), Christopher was incredibly accommodating even when we barged in with more questions late at night, Chef is simply brilliant; he picks his ingredients with care and creates an amazing array of offerings, so much so that we had to have two tastings (the sea bass and butternut squash soup are simply divine). All of our guests were blown away with how beautiful our wedding turned out to be (we were stunned ourselves, quite frankly), and walked away with lovely photos and raved about how much fun they had.

A few tips:
1. The ball room doesn't need any uplighting (if you're looking to cut back on expenses); candle light made the room seem that much more romantic and suitable for the decor of the ballroom.
2. Have your guests stay at the Sun Castle Resort townhouses (right on property); not only were our guests able to enjoy Lake George's offerings staying lake-side and just two miles from the town center, they were also able to get home safely and responsibly after the reception.
3. Have a breakfast for your guests the morning after! We had ours on the veranda; I thought the price was incredibly reasonable for what was offered (the parfait, the pastries and banana maple cream cheese stood out in particular). Our flowers from the night before were re-purposed beautifully (I was so glad those flowers got to shine twice).

This castle is gorgeous with an exquisite view of the lake. Alexis was amazing and made our every dream come true on this night. The year and a half I spent planning this wedding with her she made me feel at ease knowing that she was going to make our vision come true. And that she did! This day was perfect for us and we wouldn't have changed one thing! Have your wedding here, you will not forget it.

The Inn at Erlowest is by far the absolute best lakeside ceremony and reception area you will find for your wedding in the Adirondack region. After months of visiting every location possible for our dream wedding in the Adirondacks, we found the Inn at Erlowest and knew it was the perfect place from the minute we laid eyes on it. Not only do they have the most elegant setting ( a beautiful historic castle on the waterfront with an amazing patio and gorgeous rooms) they by far had the best wedding packages to offer for the area and provided exceptional service and value. The venue wedding coordinator Alexis helped us from start to finish and made sure with the help of the amazing staff that our day from ceremony prep to cocktail hour to dinner and dancing went absolutely flawless. They accommodated every request we made and truly gave us the fairytale wedding we dreamed of without the worry and stress of planning every detail. The food is also prepared by an amazing in house chef and staff who were able to tailor our wedding menu to exactly what we wanted. If you are planning an Adirondack wedding, no need to spend months looking for a venue and ceremony site, reach out to the Inn at Erlowest and save yourself the worry and hassle knowing you picked the most beautiful venue, with the best wedding coordinator, wait staff, chef and accommodations in the region.

The Inn at Erlowest is such a beautiful location. It has beautiful views overlooking lake George, and we have amazing pictures of family with the beautiful stone work as the background. Alexis was great to work with, she was so helpful! She was great at helping me visualize the ideas I liked and how to work them into our wedding in a way that would work for us. We had an amazing wedding there, and had so many compliments on the venue!

Alexis and the staff at the Inn at Erlowest went above and beyond for our wedding day. From start to finish, everyone we interacted with at the Inn was incredibly warm, helpful, and the consummate professional. In addition to being classy and beautiful, the staff and general atmosphere was very fun, warm, and welcoming. They really put me at ease on my wedding day that everything would be handled perfectly, and it was. I had many guests come up to me afterward and tell me that they have never eaten a better wedding meal and had more fun at a wedding before. Four months later, people are still talking with me and my husband about how much fun they had at our wedding! We cannot wait to go back there to celebrate special milestones.

We had a fairytale wedding at Erlowest.
The staff were wonderful and very accommodating. Alexis Wallace was extremely helpful and very professional. She made our wedding exceptional. The food was spectacular. Our room accommodation was beautiful and very romantic. I highly recommend having a special event at The Inn at Erlowest.

We had our reception here, and it was an incredible venue! The setting and view are second to none, and the staff was helpful and wonderful to work with. From day 1 through the day of the wedding (and during the wedding), Alexis provided us with any information we needed, responding promptly and thoroughly to all of our questions. She was always pleasant, and helped make the planning process so much easier -- she coordinated with other vendors, allowing us to feel confident that everything would come together perfectly. The room was beautiful and the food was awesome! The day of the wedding, Alexis and the rest of the staff went out of their way to provide us with adequate space for my bridal party to get ready (all together, including mothers and jr. bridesmaids/flower girls, there were about 15 of us), and at the actual wedding there were staff members dedicated to making sure we had the food/drinks we wanted, and anything we wanted that we did not have time to eat was sent up to our room for us to enjoy later in the night. Laurie managed the event throughout the night, and made sure that everything happened exactly the way it should, and that we did not leave anything behind. All in all, hosting a wedding at Erlowest was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.

The setting overlooking Lake George was perfect. The castle was a stately and commanding presence on the Lake. The rooms were fit for royalty. Ms. Alexis Wallace, Event & Sales Manager, had every bit of information necessary and read our minds for the details we sought. She answered all our questions and responded to all our calls and emails. We settled upon the decor, schedule, and beverage selection and determined that all ten rooms available at The Inn would be reserved for the family wedding guests. Ms. Wallace arranged for a tasting to decide upon a menu and the type of wedding cake desired. She even provided us with a schedule for everything to be done, from the ladies' make-up in the morning to the speeches at the reception. Everything went exactly according to plan. Ms. Laurie Jones, Banquet Manager, saw to it that all aspects of the reception were perfect. The servers kept an attentive eye on all the tables. Every need was immediately and unobtrusively met. The food was individually prepared and served straight off the fire. Vegetables were fresh and the meat cooked to order. The preparation, quality, and presentation could not have been better. Our guests said it certainly equaled or surpassed the quality of many of the finest restaurants. The battery of five chefs, with Adam Padilla in the lead, are to be commended for their artistry.
The following morning, breakfast was available for the 180 attendees. Again, Ms. Wallace and Ms. Jones outdid themselves. Juices, tropical fruits, eggs, french toast, salmon and many other delights too numerous to mention were awaiting the guests. The staff had even taken the flowers from the evening's reception and used them to decorate the terrace where breakfast was served; a truly thoughtful and beautiful touch. Everyone left pleased and totally satisfied.
Thank you Alexis, Laurie, Adam, Chefs, Servers, Bartenders, and Staff of the Inn at Erlowest.
